Solution - Compound interest (basic)

52259.56

52259.56

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 14, 878$ , $r = 7 %$ , $n = 12$ , $t = 18$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.0058333333$ , $n t = 216$ , so the growth factor is $3.5125393219$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $14, 878$ × $3.5125393219$ = $52259.56$ .
